About Super 10s

The first step in Tennis Australia’s performance pathway introduces promising 10‑and‑under players to team‑based competition, guided coaching and the chance to connect with peers across the country.

This national program is designed to nurture skills, character and teamwork in a fun, supportive environment.

In Queensland, the program begins with Challenge Days and continues across three competitive seasons each year – giving young athletes regular opportunities to learn, compete and progress.

Super 10s connects with the broader performance pathway, with many players also taking part in programs such as Junior Team Tennis, the Australian Junior Tour and national development squads.

We are now inviting coaches and players to submit an expression of interest to be involved in the Super 10’s Green Ball State Development Camps.

State of Origin team-based matchplay

The State of Origin–style events will remain in 2026 for eligible players in their 10th and 9th birth year:

  • Dedicated weekends of inter-state fixtures (NSW vs QLD) in Term 4

  • These events reward pathway engagement and provide a fun, motivating state-versus-state team based competitive experience.

  • The Qld Talent Development Manager will confirm specific formats and hosting arrangements.


Readiness guidelines

To get the most out of Super 10s, players should already have experience with green‑ball match play and be confident competing in a structured environment. As a guide, players are generally able to:

  • rally consistently from the baseline

  • serve with reasonable success

  • play full points and understand basic scoring

  • move the ball around the court with purpose

  • show positive attitude, effort and sportsmanship

  • demonstrate independence on court.

If you’re unsure whether your child is ready, speak with their private coach for guidance.
